Just for clarity I'm not talking about any artist in
particular right now.
If the music was substantially different/reworked from
a recording I own, that could be interesting. Many
times I have seen someone "live" and the version they
play is almost identical to the one I own. That's
kind of disappointing.
Then there is the issue of sound systems. Sometimes
it's really good to hear something LOUD (with all the
frequencies properly EQed). That is rarely the case
when I go to mouse clicking events.
I have seen Soul Oddity on a Shredder sound system and
it blew my mind. Then I have seen them in a tiny
space with mediocre sound. Massive difference!
Although I don't think they did as a good of a
performance at the smaller venue.

If someone has gear in front of them and they look
like they are having fun it makes a big difference
from someone who looks bored or is straining to read
their laptop.
Personally I would rather see an artist like Meat Beat
Manifesto. Where they do perform.
Or see a dj that mixes and does tricks, etc.
